SX5927 6086 - Building / structure.
Stone-built structure, rectangular in plan, visible on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map. Located where the central track through Newpark turns south-west to cross Piall River. The remains of masonry footings indicate the structure was four-sided, though only three remain in elevation, with external dimensions of 7.4 metres by 5.5 metres. The walls are 0.55 metres thick, and constructed of roughly-faced exterior, with a core of small/medium stone and mortar matrix, which is poorly preserved and disintegrating. True regular stonework is apparent only at the corners, of which the north-west and south-east survive to a height of 1.9 metres and 2.4 metres respectively, and in the lower courses where they survive. The north-west gable survives to a height of 1.9 metres. No entrance or internal features visible in plan or elevation. Appears of the late 19th century historic map as a rectangular mark. Condition poor, currently disintegrating and in a state of collapse.
Some kind of corrugated iron structure inside building visible on two photographs.
Ordnance Survey, 2017, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359962.
